Gogo Tormented By Former Tenants’ Tokoloshe
Gogo Emily Zulu is being tormented by a tokoloshe left by former tenants.
In an interview with Daily Sun, Gogo Zulu (67) from Vosloorus, said the tenants approached her in January asking for space for their salon.
She allowed them to erect a shack in her yard.
The tenants used to tell her that her house was possessed and that she had to sell it. She pushed the suggestion aside and thought they were actually fake izangoma who wanted her house.
She added that they advised her to give them money so they could cleanse her residence. But gogo was reluctant.
“I’ve been living in this house since 1981 and have never been tortured by a tokoloshe or any other evil spirit. But now they’re telling me my house is possessed and I should sell it. Why would I do such a stupid thing?”
The tenants started acting strangely when she turned down their offer, Gogo Zulu said. At one time she says she caught them planting muthi in her yard, and she sometimes saw them in a dream performing rituals in her yard.
She says she approached them and told them to stop what they were doing.
Gogo Emily was forced to abandon her bedroom as she could not sleep because of the strange things that were happening there.
“I hear a voice saying ‘I will kill you’ at midnight,” she said.
“I couldn’t take it anymore and ran away from the bedroom to sleep on the sofa. I thought I’d have peace of mind after I left the bedroom, but the tokoloshe followed me.”
She decided to kick out the tenants but the strange happenings have persisted. Gogo Emily said she does not need a Sangoma to cleanse the house. Gogo Emily says she sometimes wakes up to find she’s been cut by what looks like a razor.
“I need help. I prefer prayer, not izangoma,” she said.
“I fear allowing izangoma into my yard. I might attract the same people.”
